Fearing fan fatigue may have impacted the box office results of Solo: A Star Wars Story, Disney CEO Bob Iger previously hinted at a "slowdown" in the release of additional films in the franchise. He promised less volume and better timing.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Iger not only reiterated that sentiment but basically confirmed that Star Wars will go on "hiatus" following the release of The Rise of Skywalker later this year.

   “We have not announced any specific plans for movies thereafter. There are movies in development, but we have not announced them. We will take a pause, some time, and reset because the Skywalker saga comes to an end with this ninth movie. There will be other Stars Wars movies, but there will be a bit of a hiatus.”


While Disney is scaling back its output of Star Wars movies in theaters, Disney+ streaming service will ensure fans plenty of new content set in a galaxy far, far away. Already confirmed for the streaming service are a number of Star Wars projects: The Mandalorian, the first scripted live-action Star Wars series; an exclusive new season of the animated show Star Wars: The Clone Wars; and a currently untitled Cassian Andor (Rogue One) series starring Diego Luna and Alan Tudyk. Disney+ will also serve as a home for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker once it leaves theaters.

As Iger alluded, there are multiple Star Wars movies currently in the pipeline, including two spin-off trilogies. The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson is overseeing one of the trilogies, while the other will come from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. But first, we have J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hitting theaters this year on December 20.

Those last two trilogies alone will mean six new films eventually lol.

Oh for goodness sake, that can't be. You're really having fun with this now aren't you? lol

Oh Disney did not spend 4B buying up Lucasfilm to let the biggest franchise of all time sit on the shelf and collect dust, trust me they have plans for Star Wars no one would imagine, they intend to milk it until it dies, clone it and then milk it some more...

End of the Skywalker story, but called Rise of Skywalker? Beginning of the end, end of the beginning?...
I will see it, but it better be good
